It's true, all of it. That's just the tip of the lardberg, years before the deep fried Mars bar there was the Scottish chippy pizza. The pizza in question was generally a nasty, plastic cheese and reconstituted stuff frisbee taken directly from the freezer and dumped into hot lard to bob about alongside sausages, pies (they got it as well), fish amd, latterly, Mars Bars. This was health food compared with the fried breakfast which was really anything that could soak up its own weight in lard deep fried in lard (there was a phenomenal black market for edible sponges).

The deep fried pizza doesn't need to be bad, it's a tradition in Italy as well as Scotland. There's a tiny pizza restaurant -- a casual dining place -- near Kyoto base that specialises in deep fried pizzas and they are good. Light, tasty and, well, tasty.

Man cannot live by pizza alone (even if they are deep fried) so there was an assorted nibbles plate...

Red wine in workmanlike glasses...

... and in paper...

The pizza...

I'm not sure what Sergeant Schultz would have made of these but he'd have enjoyed eating 'em.
